Seeking cooperation of all states and Union territories to work together with the Centre, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today said that while the Centre sets the direction of economic growth, it is for them to ensure effective implementation on ground. In her opening remarks at the pre-budget consultation meeting with state finance ministers, she made following remarks.

1. She said, "No goals can be achieved if states and the centre don't work together in cohesion... The centre has the responsibility of setting the direction of the economic growth while it's the responsibility of the states to implement in the field." 

2. In a series of tweets, the finance ministry said that Sitharaman sought the cooperation of all the states and union territories in achieving the aspirations of the people and extended full cooperation from her side in achieving the desired goals.
